It’s easy to forget in the all-consuming build-up to the World Cup that there is a plethora of sporting fixtures to look forward to, both during and after the month of football.

Virtuoso Golf (www.virtuosogolf.com) has put together eye-watering packages from £1.5m for the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in Wales for this October. The package includes a five-day stay aboard a 300ft superyacht, Lauren L, which accommodates 40 guests, in Cardiff Bay; daily helicopter transfers to Celtic Manor and VIP hospitality from the President's Club which overlooks the 16th fairway.
